A CARD

The public is hereby notified that a
cigar manufacturer in St. Peter. has nn-
scrupulously. without my consent or
sanction, and in an undetermined way
taken the brand-name of my celebrated
White Rose Cigars, This is a base at
tempt to undermine my trade on this
brand and to build a false reputation
for his goods on the widespread reputa-
ton my Original White Rose Cigars"
have achieved in period of four years.
As my only recourse is in the business
and love of fair play which ever exists
in the public mind. take this method
Of notification and leave the rest to your
sense of fairness. Respectfully
Z. A. MALMo,
Factory No. 4.
N. B. When purchasing the white
Rose please be sure that the brand on
top of box reads IL. A. Malmo's Origi-
nal White Rose and thus favor me and
protect yourselves.

LII the case OF MIS-. "A. LoeSch against
the w. & st. p. r. r. Co. Justice Fisch-
er rendered a..yerdict in favor of the
plaintiff for $50 and costs, Friday. This
case shows to what expense railroad
corporations will go in order to avoid
acknoWled dying their responsibility in
case of accidents May 9Th 81 train
ran over and killed COW belonging to
the plaintiff. She wrote several letters
to the company requesting them to set
tie for the animal but the company de-
clined to do so claiming that their fenc-
es were in good repair and that they
were not at fault. As last resort Mrs.
Loesch engaged Mr.. Lind to prosecute
the company and he did so with the re-
sult above stated. Witnesses for the
plaintiff. swear positively that the fence
was in poor condition near the place
of accident while railroad employees
testified that the fences were in good
repair. Parties who are in q position
tojndge say it has cost the company near
y two hundred dollars to defend the
case and seem inclined tothink that it is
simply case Of bulldoze on the par,
of the company. They think that the
company is bound not to be proven
guilty aud will carry the case to higher
courts rather than pay the fine.

Emma Brandt with request to prin,
same in memory Of the deceased.
GONE.
Another hand is beckoning us,
Another call is given,
And CLOVIS once more with angel steps
The path which reaches heaven.
Our young and gentle friend, whose smile
Made brighter summer hours,
Amid the frosts of autumn time
Has left rs with the flowers.
No paling Of the cheek Of bloom
Forewarned us Of decay;
No shadow from the Silent Land
Fell round our sisters way.
The light other young life went down
AS sinks behind the hill
The glory Of setting STAR,
Clear, suddenly and still.
Alone unto our Fathers will
One thought hath reconciled,
That he whose love exceedeth ours
Hath taken home hisIchild.
Fold her, o Father! in thine arms,
And let her henceforth be
A messenger of love between
Our human hearts and thee.
Still let her mild rebuking stand.
Between us and the wrong.
And her memory serve to makes
Our faith in goodness stroug."

'Not bit Of it; just watch me, or rather
watch tho cake;n and Johnny did so while
his pal disappeared TO gain the front of the
house.
IL was not a swell wedding on the Back
Bay, but Just a quiet little affair In re-
spectacle though not aristocratic street.
Only few friends were present, but in some
way, known only 10 such men as the Doc,
and perhaps reporter or two, the willy
crook gained admission to the house and in
ten minutes had accomplish such diversion
as 10 delay the entrance of the party into the
dining room. Meanwhile Johnny had
''fnashed' the cook, and on one pretext or
another had disposed Of the other servants,
and before any one in the house realized
what was being done the audacious scamp
had actually walked off with the wedding
cake, the silver platter on which 1t had been
out. and the basket of wine. The Doc, be-
fore the discovery had been made excused
himself and withdrew. They decamped on
a o'clock train which connected with a
Sound steamer.
The stolen wines proved to be excellent 50
good, in fact, that the two friends concluded
10 share them with the passengers, They
quietly passed the wine around the saloon
without, at first, attracting the attention OF
the officers of the boat and then, as giddy
climax of drunken bravado they actually
passed the wedding cake around ON its sill
yer platter, giving some absurd excuse TO
account for their possession OF 1t. IL reads
like a romance, but as the Doc says:
Copper me eternally from soda TO hook
If the bride and groom weren't among that
crowd; and they ate their own wedding cake
secondhand
This was too much the luck had changed
and the spoil Of the reckless pair was recog-
nized by the victims, who reported the
facts 10 the Captain. Asa consequence, the
police boat was sgnaled in New York har-
Dor. and the crooks were taken into custody
The checks for their trunks were found in
their pockets, and the stolen jewelry was
thus recovered Neither OF them received
a long sentence. Perhaps the Judge was
moved by the sublimity Of their CHECK
After the Doc had told his story the con
versation turned upon the subject of the de-
ection of crime, and the Doc spoke adj
miringly Of Inspector Byrnes."

ST0LETHEW WEDDINGCAKE
A CROOK TELLS THE STORY OF A
CHEEKY OPERATION.

Romantic Adventure of a Bad Man
Who Went to School With Jesse
GrantA-A Bride and Groom Treated
to Their own Bridal Sweetmeats.
NEW YoRK, June ia day or two ago
a detective with whom | am acquainted
gave me letter of introduction to semi
reformed crook. Semi-reformation in this
case means that the man has abandoned
plain, ordinary stealing and has gone to
gambling. There are many such in New
York, and my letter was adj
dressed to one of the best of
them. was particularly anxious to hear
him tell how he stole wedding cake and
treated the bride and groom to a piece of it.
The detective had outlined this instructive
tale to me, leaving the details to be filed in
by the hero himself
Doc" Merryman has been a crook and
there is no denying it, He has violated the
eighth commandment artiStically and
often, but Inspector ByneS has said that
the crooked shall be made straight, and the
Doc, after trip or two upt the river, has de
ciGed TO try it. He has not recently in
dulged in unauthorized redistribution OF
property. NV letter of introduction CON
tanned the words, talk to him just as you
would TO me'-this from a detective to a
crook. But il produced the desired effect,
and | found that | could have had no bet
ter credentials From the detective learned
that the Doc was of good Western stock,
though his parents were poor He was a
schooltellow of Jessie Grant, and in fact
used to sit at the same desk with him. He
knew the whole Grant family well, and this
proved Il good thing for him later
His first departure of any consequence
from the straight and narrow way was in
the line of forgery, and he ''went up" for a
ten years sentence in consequence This
was when Grant was President. From his
dungeon cell the culprit wrote an appeal to
Jesse Grant, calling upon him as an old
schoolmate for help. Tho case was at once
investigated, and as the sentence was mani
testify unjust, President Grant pardoned the
prisoner after short term. But, unfor-
tunately, he was not reformed

USES OF THE BOX LOUNGE.

Growing in Popularity.

New Device which Appears to be
Growing in Popularity.
NEW York, June IA new deviceis tbs
box lounge, which is great thing for peo
pie short of closet room or those living ir
apartments. The seats lift up, and into il
may be placed evening dresses, laid out theii
full length, which prevents crushing. A bon
lounge may be Of home manufacture, easily
or If carpenter is convenient, have him
make box, say five feet long by three wioa
then have notches made for Stats; over thai
small hair mattress, throw over that
large Turkish rug or chenille piano cover
pile up three or four sofa cushions and you
have very handsome lounge, something
that with sheets and pillow cases may bs
transformed into bed, and dresses may be
placed in the box beneath The reason for
the Stats instead of a cover is twofold. In
the first place, il makes the bed or lounge
easier; and III the second place, it is less
weight TO lift slat or two at time to find
the article of clothing you may be in search
Of than it would be to lift large and heavy
cover. Some people prefer small wire
spring mattress for a cover TO the box, which
is on hinges at the back and lifts like any
other cover. 1t is not heavy. A young
artist friend of mine has one Of these loungea
in his studio and he calls ii 1luitttt IN pdrro.
Ii contains in the box his dress suit, several
pairs of patent leather shoes and some re-
serve boxes of cigars, all of which | saw as
he unfolded its beauty and convenience TO
party Of us The best of all was that he ins
formed us the box cost but 81 and the mat
tress &c. The Turkish rug which covered II
carelessly was one of his former possessions
